For a long time

And as you’re finding out, you’re having to yield to and acknowledge something you didn’t believe, but something that has been the case and [has been] known by those who are running the world for a long time, even though you just lived in your country, or your city, or your state, and you did your thing and everyone else did their thing and nobody ever felt the connection, felt the unalterable connection, felt the connection that means that what happens in one place is happening to everyone.

Hello, beloved members and respected Gurus!!...

English is often vague to me...
The underlined, "for a long time"....
Is it "running the world for a long time" or "[has been] known for a long time"?
Or, it can be understood either way?

Either way. The whole passage is poorly written. it's ridiculous to put all that into one sentence.
